Freedom 250 Reception and Fireworks Event

Solicitation # 19JA7027Q0002

The U.S. Consulate General Sapporo is soliciting quotations for a firm-fixed-price contract to provide comprehensive event management for the Freedom 250 commemorative event on February 5, 2027. The event features a two-hour reception at Nouvelle Pousse at Okurayama followed by a 20-minute professional fireworks display starting at 8:00 p.m. The contractor is responsible for all aspects of the event, including venue coordination, hospitality, entertainment, permitting, transportation, parking, photography, videography, technical support, and safety management. Because the event coincides with the Sapporo Snow Festival, the contractor must manage all associated operational challenges, such as increased traffic, crowd management, and specific festival-related permitting. Award will be granted to the lowest priced, technically acceptable, and responsible offeror. Technical evaluations will focus on relevant experience managing VIP events and professional fireworks displays in compliance with Japanese laws, as well as the contractor's approach to safety and operational oversight. Key deliverables include planning documents due within ten days of award, finalized permits and safety plans prior to the event, and the delivery of professional photography within five business days post-event. All U.S. contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management, and quotations must be submitted electronically in English by November 20, 2026.
